I do! ;o)>> Okay, - I did, but not til this morning! IT'S COOL! Oh, I can't wait to slice it. May have to wait another day or so. I just peeked I didn't touch. The base is sort of a yellowish color (my olive oil is yellow) But it is beautiful! (can I say that?) And smells heavenly of Lilac. BTW, Audrey, I used my lilac infused oil in this batch, have you tried yours yet? Question? What do you all use for a truly WHITE bar of soap? I'm not sure I want to use crisco. I could get a finer grade of olive oil for more $$$. I'll check out Carilee's site, thanks for encouraging us to check it out. a Rogpashea@...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 1999 Report Share Posted June 10, 1999 Hi, a, You can get a really white bar of soap by subbing sunflower oil, or canola oil for your olive oil. For the canola oil, you will need to add a little more palm oil or maybe some cocoa butter to make up for it giving you a little softer bar than olive.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 1999 Report Share Posted June 11, 1999 Hi , What qualities does canola oil add to soap, or would it just be considered a lower priced filler?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 1999 Report Share Posted June 11, 1999 Hi, Sandy, How have ya been? Canola has the closest make up to olive oil. The only difference is that it makes a little softer bar of soap than olive does. I just add a little palm kernal oil, or cocoa butter to make up for it. I have been experimenting with it and it makes a really great bar of soap and lots cheaper than olive oil. It also makes a very white bar.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 1999 Report Share Posted June 11, 1999 Hi, Tricia, I use between 1/2 and 1 oz per pound of oils. For a five pound fat batch, I would use 2.5 to 5 ozs of cocoa butter.
